To celebrate the launch of the Audi A3, M.I.A. and Janelle Monáe will respectively perform at private events in New York City and Los Angeles tomorrow. But because we're living in the future, they'll also perform two brand-new duets... via hologram.

This year's Super Bowl takes place at New York City-adjacent MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 2. It marks a rare instance of the Super Bowl taking place in a typically cold climate, and the first hosting collaboration between two states (New York and New Jersey). Accordingly, there's a lot of surrounding Super Bowl-affiliated hoopla planned in New York and New Jersey, including a ton of musical events.

Billboard has posted a highlight from its "Women in Music" event, which took place last month and honored... you guessed it, women in music. Chvrches did a very Chvrches-sounding cover of Janelle Monáe's ArchAndroid single "Tightrope", with Janelle herself dancing and singing along in the audience. (Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry introduced the cover with a story of her phone call with Monáe the previous night).

"Saturday Night Live" celebrated Halloween in style this weekend by bringing on a musical guest who dresses in costume (okay, uniform) year-round. Janelle Monáe stopped by the show last night to perform "Dance Apocalyptic" and "Electric Lady" (without Solange, who appears on the song on the album) from her new record The Electric Lady. Dressed all in black and white, Monáe and her big backing band (including two backup singers) delivered typically high-energy performances.
